Overview

This is a multi-module umbrella project for Jackson modules needed to support Java 8 features when core Jackson modules do not (yet) require Java 8 runtime.

This includes:

• Parameter names
• Java 8 Datatypes
• Java 8 Date/time

Registering modules

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper()
   .registerModule(new ParameterNamesModule())
   .registerModule(new Jdk8Module())
   .registerModule(new JavaTimeModule())
;

or, alternatively, you can also auto-discover these modules with:

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.findAndRegisterModules();

Either way, after registration all functionality is available for all normal Jackson operations.
